About

WHEN I WAS started out as a forced meme on 4chan, involving mainly image macros of Gerard Way from the rock band My Chemical Romance (or any other person) holding one's grasping arm out as they dramatically start a first-person narrative sentence. The sentence is usually finished by the next post, or continued throughout the entire thread.

Examples

Origin

First sightings of this forced meme date back to March 2007. A thread is started with WHEN I WAS, followed by lulz. Since then, several variations of it have been spammed over and over again on /b/.
